1:72 Gloster Meteor FR.9

Eduard photo-etched set Gloster Meteor FR.9 1:72

A photo-etched detail set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard for the IBG model of the British Gloster Meteor FR.9 reconnaissance jet fighter in 1:72 scale. It is not a model and not its main parts: it is a fret of fine metal parts that replace and add to small plastic elements and lift the level of detail considerably. Typically it covers cockpit elements, control surfaces and other fine details that cannot be cast faithfully in plastic at such a small scale.

How it is used

• The parts are cut from the fret, deburred and bent to shape (a photo-etch bending tool helps).
• They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue or with a special adhesive for photo-etch.
• The set is made specifically for the IBG Meteor FR.9 model and matches its shapes and parts.
• Working with photo-etch calls for patience and fine tools; it suits more advanced modelers.

Who it is for

For modelers building the Gloster Meteor FR.9 in 1:72 from IBG who want to finish the cockpit and the exterior with fine metal details beyond what the box holds.

This is an aftermarket detail accessory, not a model. The model itself, glue and paints are not included in the package.
